Splashes of Watercolor

Remember that song? Well, that’s how I feel because Taylor asked me to be her Featured Cupcake Sampler this week!!  She chose my iris card as her favorite from last week’s entries.  How cool is that???  I was just flabbergasted!  Woo hoo! Well, after I calmed down, I started worrying about what to make for […]

I’m making this a quick and short post!  I’ve tried for a couple of weeks now to get in an entry for Taylor’s TECC challenges and have always missed the deadline.  I’m cutting it close this week, but I think I’m going to make it! This Rubbernecker iris is paper pieced, both with a second […]

I was just thrilled to see that yesterday’s Ways to Use It Challenge – WT206 – was to use stripes!  I had finished this card last weekend and was trying to find time to write up the blog post.  Julia gave me the nudge I needed! I found a package of Basic Grey Sugared chip […]

I had to get in a quick post today.  I just loved Taylor’s sketch this week and since today is the deadline to submit a card, I needed to post it now.  Oops!  Too late again!  It had to be posted by 8 a.m. PST.  Dang!  I had this made on Saturday but thought I […]

I decided to visit Splitcoast this morning to see who was selected to join the Dirty Dozen this month.  Woo hoo!  Such great choices!  What, you haven’t checked it out yet?  You really should!  If you’re not a Fan Club member, you just don’t know what you’re missing!  Check out how to join HERE.

Woo hoo!  Time for another Color Throwdown color challenge!  This week is Danielle‘s first time as hostess and I have to tell you, if she keeps picking colors like she did this week, I’m really gonna look forward to her weeks!!  I love this color combo: So my card qualifies for 3 different challenges this […]

After spending 5 hours cleaning out my closet (Whew!), I needed a break!  So I decided to check out the Featured Stamper challenge at SCS.  Today’s challenge FS105 features k dunbrook.  She’s got a wonderful gallery!  I chose this card – Hint of Red – to CASE. Only I used pink instead of red, and […]

I made this card for the inspiration challenge at SCS today.  IC166 caught my eye because my daughter and I have been shopping around for nursery furnishings for my soon-to-be first granddaughter.  I love all the fresh designs at the Hunkydoryhome website.  I’ll have to send her the link as soon as I’m through with […]

I was intrigued with today’s Technique Lover’s Challenge (TLC206) at Splitcoaststampers today.  The technique is called recessed window and it really did stump me at first, but I finally caught on! I just adore this little giraffe image from Imaginisce and decided it would work just fine framed in the Basic Grey Sugared paper. The […]

Here’s a different kind of card….for me anyway!  But I think I really like it! I started out with this week’s 2 Sketches 4 You sketch and threw in the Technique Lovers Challenge TLC205 at Splitcoast to use pleated paper.  I took me a while to decide how to use the pleated panel, but I […]
